Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of 80N is applied on sled at 53⁰

Its horizontal component = 80cos53

= 48.14 N .

Its horizontal component will pull forward the sled and friction will prevent its forward motion . As sled is moving with constant velocity , net force on it is zero .

Hence forward push = frictional force

Frictional force = 48.14 N.
